Buccaneers vs New York Giants: 2017 Week 4 Inactives

"He did a nice job". "After (Folk) missed those field goals (of 46 and 49 yards earlier in the game), I was feeling pretty confident that if he had a long field goal, he wouldn't make it".

Tampa Bay (2-1) won its sixth consecutive home game, dating to last season. Even without the ground game, that is cause for concern, as the Buccaneers have four very good passing targets as well as a couple more who are capable but unproven. The Giants (0-4) are now in a class with the Browns, 49ers and Chargers.

"In the end, that's all that matters", Folk said. We got to be hungry, we got to be willing to work, and we need to get back to work as a staff and to get back to work as a team and find a way to improve.

An offensive line that did not surrender a sack for a change but could not help Shane Vereen get a lousy yard on third down from the Bucs 13 at a time when a touchdown was better than the field goal that made it Bucs 13, Giants 3.

The Bucs had their ups and downs on Sunday and Folk's misses loomed large as the Giants comeback took shape, but they avoided turnovers after giving the ball away three times last week and held up well defensively with three starters on the shelf with injuries.

I'd venture to say that every National Football League team has a good Plan A. That is to say, if the basic original game plan works the way the coaching staff draws it up, that team will most likely win the game.

"That's the only option we've got", he said. I'll take the Giants for the cover and win.

SLIM HOPES: At 0-4, the Giants are off to their worst start since losing six straight in 2013. We're going to stay together. "We can't sit here and cry about it", Beckham said. "You're not going to just go out there and get wins, you have to go out there and play good football". Coach Dirk Koetter is growing exhausted of quarterback Jameis Winston's bad decision-making after Winston threw three interceptions against the Vikings. However, they failed to stop the Buccaneers on the most important one when tight end Cameron Brate hauled in a 26-yard catch on third-and-one to set up the game-winning field goal.

"Our mindset is we have to get this win right here", NY quarterback Eli Manning said. He originally was ruled to have scored, but he was called down at the half-yard line on review. It's a theoretical boost for Paul Perkins and the Giants' rushing "attack" in Week 4. "At 0-4, that's all you can do". We're going to keep fighting. They are expected to be without starting linebackers Kwon Alexander and Lavonte David Sunday.

The Giants do not appear to be missing any key players. Giants DE Olivier Vernon left in the second quarter and was declared out with an ankle injury.

Manning drove the Giants for the go-ahead score thanks in part to a 42-yard bomb to Odell Beckham Jr. midway through the fourth quarter.
